Isn't the arrival of really cheap ARM-s, like M0, puts PIC and AVR and the like |
| 2 |
in legacy category you won't ever look again? Assuming you can match the |
| 3 |
hardware side: UARTs, counters, voltage, etc. the power consumption of today |
| 4 |
ARM-s made on modern process is really good and programming experience is so |
| 5 |
much better - not to deal with PIC brain-damaging architecture is so relieving. |

People say, PIC-s are very robust and can handle a lot with theirs bare pin-s, |
| 8 |
but still, does it really matter most of the times? |

My experience with Hitech is that it generates significantly smaller code. Not |
| 11 |
sure about PICC bugs (I used Windows version), but SDCC created broken program |
| 12 |
(infinite loop) from the same code. Anyway, my experience with PIC was episodic |
| 13 |
and the bug was fixed very fast by SDCC team. |
